All In owners, DeepStacks partner up for Aruba

They’ve gone from bar poker to attracting some of the biggest players in the game to visit Aruba.

Last year, Bryan Oulton and Sandy Swartzbaugh, owners of the All In Free Poker bar league, created the Players Poker Championship, a series of tournaments in Aruba.

Last week, they announced that they are now partners with the DeepStacks Poker Tour, a new series. Under the deal, the series of seven events will be next May in Aruba. DeepStacks has pledged to attract big names, such as Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Tristan Wade.

The main event final table will be live streamed via DeepStacks360. The $2,500 buy-in event features a $200,000 guarantee.

“Aruba is one of the most beautiful locations in the world and bringing the DeepStacks Poker Tour there, shows we are serious about offering the very best in tournament poker,” DeepStacks CEO Chris Torina said.

The DeepStacks tour consists of six stops, none of which are in South Florida. Go to DeepStacks.com for the schedule.
